Chen Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I have been given access to a Windows remote server. My question is: do i need to enter windows every time i want to check on that server? OR can i just connect through Mandriva (and how)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonEberger Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 by this do you mean remote desktop'ing in windows? if so the application I use is rdesktop. 'man rdesktop' should give you plenty of info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Not too much i know about it but i enter by going to Start -> Run -> MSTSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaraeez Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I think you were using RDP (MSTSC) from windows in which case what i do is open up a terminal & type the following rdesktop -k en-gb -u USERNAME -g 1024x768 IP-ADDRESS-OF-SERVER which will run the APP rdesktop using the GB keyboard layout with a window size (1024x768). I then created a shortcut with the above command & icon. Then from then on just click the icon. There is a GUI for this but i'm not sure about that myself. Also running rdesktop on it's own will give you some more info. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 The GUI for rdesktop under KDE is krdc, and for Gnome it is tsclient. However, both are crippled, and I always end up calling rdesktop from CLI to fill in the things missing in the existing GUI's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
